    Cut off TC quick load muzzle

    I have a small lathe I can part it off with. But no way to cut a new dovetail for the front sight. That is the main problem. As I don't work anymore I don't have access to a Bridgeport mill anymore or I would do all of this myself at work. I had a full machine shop connected to out maintenance...

    Cut off TC quick load muzzle

    Anyone know where I could send a New Englander barrel to have this done? I would also have to have the under rib shortened and a new dovetail cut for the front site. I have two of these and the one that has the false muzzle does not shoot as well as the older one with a normal muzzle. And that...

    Lee R.E.A.L. bullets undersized ?

    Add some tin to the lead. That may increase the diameter a little. Or you can do what is called "beagling" the mold. You take aluminum tape and place it on one half of the mold. You need to cut the tape so it does not intrude into the mold cavities. It will give you whatever thickness of the...

    Bullet size for 50 cal

Or you can have it so the mold cast from a 0.001"+ or 0.001-" to the size you want. I like the +- as the...

    Bullet size for 50 cal

    Conical. Accurate molds is who is going to make the mold. I have a TC 370gr maxi ball and the Lee 250gr and 320gr molds. These shoot ok at best. I don't want a tapered bullet like these are. I feel that is why they don't shoot well at all. I have tried several types of black. Swiss...

    Bullet size for 50 cal

    My T/C 50 cal has a 0.4995"x0.5095" bore and groove. I want to order a mold from accurate and need to know what size to get the mold made to. Regular cast bullets in centerfire you try for 0.001" over size. But I don't know what the rule is for black powder so I will not have to beat the bullet...

    Maxi ball and Lee REAL lube

    What is everyone using for lube for these? I need to be able to source locally and available to make lube. So Bear fat is NOT going to work. I have been using TC Bore Butter but it is leaving hard deposits in the barrel and causing hard loading
